then, there is the question of your attitude towards the british. i have noticed that there is hatred towards the british among the people. the people say they are disgusted with their behaviour. the people make no distinction between british imperialism and the british people. to them, the two are one this hatred would even make them welcome the japanese. it is most dangerous. it means that they will exchange one slavery for another. we must get rid of this feeling. our quarrel is not with the british people, we fight their imperialism. the proposal for the withdrawal of british power did not come out of anger. it came to enable india to play its due part at the present critical juncture it is not a happy position for a big country like india to be merely with money and material obtained willy-nilly from her while the united nations are conducting the war. we cannot evoke the true spirit of sacrifice and valour, so long as we are not free. i know the british government will not be able to withhold freedom from us, when we have made enough self-sacrifice. we must, therefore, purge ourselves of hatred. speaking for myself, i can say that i have never felt any hatred. as a matter of fact, i feel myself to be a greater friend of the british now than ever before. one reason is that they are today in distress. my very friendship, therefore, demands that i should try to save them from their mistakes. as i view the situation, they are on the brink of an abyss. it, therefore, becomes my duty to warn them of their danger even though it may, for the time being, anger them to the point of cutting off the friendly hand that is stretched out to them. people may laugh, nevertheless that is my claim. at a time when i may have to launch the biggest struggle of my life, i may not harbour hatred against anybody.

Which line in the passage can be used as textual evidence to support the following claim? many people suffer from depression. depression is a serious mental illness that affects a person physically and mentally. it interferes with a person's ability to function normally and enjoy pleasurable activities. some types of depression include major depressive disorder, seasonal affective disorder, and postpartum depression. many people confuse depression with general sadness, though people are becoming increasingly aware that it is indeed a serious illness. often people suffering from depression think that it is an incurable condition. they don’t seek any treatment because they are afraid of how others will judge them. based on data from the national institute of medical health, depressive disorders are common and affect 9.5 percent of adults in the united states, or about 19 million people every year. more than 80 percent of people with depressive disorders improve when they receive appropriate treatment.
